2019 Spring CV Baseball Updates / Update 2019-03-08

It's hard to believe we're just a few short weeks from the start of our 2019 Spring Baseball Season. This email is to provide you with some key information for this upcoming season.

Teams

Travel teams have all been announced. 10U Rec, Rookies, and Tee Ball teams are being assembled. We need coaches for 10U Rec. Please reach out to us if you're interested in coaching.

We would like to get teams announced in the next week or so.

Spring Training / Field Day / Opening Day

The weather will play a large part of how soon we'll be on the fields. Your coach will be communicating the schedules and locations for practices once they are determined. Spring training will begin no later than the last week of March, but may start sooner for our travel/older teams.

Field Day will be Saturday, March 23rd at 8a. We will announce where to go once we get closer to that date. Many hands make for light work. If you can give an hour, we'll take it. We're thinking through ways to make it as efficient as possible. We're also excited about some improvements we're making to the Witmer complex for our 10U players.

Conestoga Valley Baseball will be holding Opening Day on April 27th at 9a at the Witmer Heights Mennonite Church Fields. Even though games in the LCYBL will have started, this Opening Day event is for the whole program.

Pancake Breakfast

Don't forget to head over to Funck's tomorrow for the all-you-can-eat Pancake Breakfast in support of our Baseball Boosters.

Dates to Remember

3/9 - Pancake Breakfast @ Funck's in Leola. 9a to 11a

3/23 - Field Day on CV Baseball Fields. 8a to 12p

4/27 - Opening Day at Witmer 9a to 10a

We look forward to a developmental, competitive, and fun spring baseball season, as well as some warm, dry weather!

Pancake Breakfast / Update 2019-02-26
